Video Vixens is a sexploitation comedy directed by the
famous Ronald Johnson. Never heard of him you say? Well, he has 356
credits at IMDb, including three last year at age 65, about three
times as many as Michael Caine. You might know him by his porno name,
Henri Pachard.

The premise is simple. The KLITT-TV station manager has decided
that a hand soap additive is causing men to lose interest in sex, and
turning women into lesbos. His plan is simple. He will preempt
programming and present the Stag Film Awards. To help him, he hires
Buck Flower, a stag film maker, and his assistant Robyn Hilton. He
forces conservative critic Gordon Gordon (Harrison Phillips) to
present the awards, much to the dismay of his wife (Angela Carnon) and
young son. He finds sex industry sponsors, assuring them of top
ratings.

The film is a series of vignettes, supposed commercials, and clips
from award winning films.

Robyn Hilton flashes her breasts near the end.

Angela Carnon does a full frontal when hubby comes home after the
broadcast.

Sandy Dempsey is a porn actress having her pubes curled when Buck
Flower is called.

Starlyn Simone does full frontal and rear nudity in a film where the
milk man whips her.

Linda York is the dial-a-snatch girl. She is fondled by men with
rough hands wearing a diaper to show she is softer than the diaper,
then strips completely.

Robyn Whitting is in two scenes, the first as a reluctant actress to
director/actor Buck Flower, and the second as a patient ravaged by
her shrink. She shows it all.

Terri Johnson also shows everything in an ad for Magic Merkin, which
her mother suggests since she is worried her boyfriend will notice
her pubes don't match her hair.

An
actress credited as Gil shows breasts in a film clip that parodies
Dragnet, about two women who are raped by "vacuum salesmen with
really long hoses."

Maria Arnoff shows breasts and bush as the other rape victim.

Celenthia Monett shows breasts in a perfume ad. She is chained along
with another woman in a dungeon, and then each is given a different
perfume. When a convicted rapist is left alone with them, he picks
her.

Tracy Handfuss does a full frontal in an ad for Kentucky Dildos that
parodies the Virginia Slims ads. You've come a long way, baby.

Marva Farmer shows breasts in the Dildos add.

Buck Flower, who appeared in both exploitation and mainstream
films, was a riot. The Twinkle Twat commercial with Rainbeaux was
inspired, and she has never looked more lovely. Not every skit worked
for me, but there were all short enough that a klinker or two didn't
matter. I thought the Dragnet parody was very well done. The video
quality was rather typical of recent Troma efforts, in other words,
not much better than VHS, and the sound was mushy in many sections.
All in all, it was a quick watch with a generous helping of
politically incorrect material, and a huge amount of nudity.

IMDB summary.
IMDb readers say 3.0, and based on only 30 votes. Troma has
just released this on DVD, and I would expect the score to
rise a little, as genre lovers weigh in on this film.

The meaning of the IMDb
score: 7.5 usually indicates a level of
excellence equivalent to about three and a half stars
from the critics. 6.0 usually indicates lukewarm
watchability, comparable to approximately two and a half stars
from the critics. The fives are generally not
worthwhile unless they are really your kind of
material, equivalent to about a two star rating from the critics,
or a C- from our system.
Films rated below five are generally awful even if you
like that kind of film - this score is roughly equivalent to one
and a half stars from the critics or a D on our scale. (Possibly even less,
depending on just how far below five the rating
is.

Our own
guideline:

A means the movie is so good it
will appeal to you even if you hate the genre.

B means the movie is not
good enough to win you over if you hate the
genre, but is good enough to do so if you have an
open mind about this type of film. Any film rated B- or better
is recommended for just about anyone. In order to rate at
least a B-, a film should be both a critical and commercial
success. Exceptions: (1) We will occasionally rate a film B- with
good popular acceptance and bad reviews, if we believe the
critics have severely underrated a film. (2) We may also
assign a B- or better to a well-reviewed film which did not do well at the
box office if we feel that the fault lay in the marketing of
the film, and that the film might have been a hit if people
had known about it. (Like, for example, The Waterdance.)

C+ means it has no crossover appeal, but
will be considered excellent by people who enjoy this kind of
movie. If this is your kind of movie, a C+ and an A are
indistinguishable to you.

C
means it is competent, but uninspired genre fare. People who
like this kind of movie will think it satisfactory. Others
probably will not.

C- indicates that it we found it to
be a poor movie, but genre addicts find it watchable. Any film
rated C- or better is recommended for fans of that type of
film, but films with this rating should be approached with
caution by mainstream audiences, who may find them incompetent
or repulsive or both. If this is NOT your kind of movie, a C-
and an E are indistinguishable to you.

D means you'll hate it even if you
like the genre. We don't score films below C- that
often, because we like movies and we think that most of them
have at least a solid niche audience. Now that you know that,
you should have serious reservations about any movie below C-.
Films rated below C- generally have both bad reviews and poor
popular acceptance.

E means that you'll hate it even if
you love the genre.

F means that the film is not only unappealing
across-the-board, but technically inept as well.

Based on this description, this
film is a C. If you like soft-core sex comedies, it meets your
minimum daily requirements: lots of flesh and many sophomoric
gags, some better than others. If you don't like the genre, it
will probably seem like an E, or maybe an F because of the poor
transfer..
